Is New Vegas canon?

[Grantorino]

Someone on youtube said it isn't. How could one of the best games in the franchise not be canon?

[tax evasion man]

Of course it is.

[KissHUN *;--;*]

its canon... for now.

[Richard02]

It's 100% cannon, just not made by bethesda devs, it's made by the original team instead.

goooood goooooood

The only one that is defacto non canon is brotherhood of steel. Even tactics is mostly canon, though not fully.

And it's unclear whether or not Bethesda considers 76 canon. I figured it was meant to be a non canon for fun game, but I don't know anymore. Haven't heard official word on it yet, but I think Bethesda is still considering it canon, even though it completely butchers previous lore (not like that stopped them with fallout 3 and 4)

[Go4Pro]

ofcourse it is

[SPERMATOZOON AUTOMATON]

Who said it isn't canon?

[Uncle Al]

Its more canon than say, Fallout 4.

For starters, this one doesn't have so many plot holes that it creates a giant black hole in the series' canon that essentially sucks up all logic in so many events that it ruins half the series by trying to force logical explanations back into these events that essentially ruins about 80% of the entire series.

Y'know, no biggie.

OF COURSE ITS CANON YOU T.WAT

The IP is at Bethesda, so "canon" has become a very indefinite and loose term with them. Just look at Fallout 76…

They are, given how much fuss they gave over the fuss gamers gave to the lore rewrite for it to make sense. If it wasn't cannon in their eyes, they would have just said "this is a spin off".

It's Arcade Canon.

[{FU}TheForgeryTTV]

It should be. F:NV is just taking place elsewhere away from Bethesda's Fallout titles. In fact, Deacon in Fallout 4 mentions Robert House.

In fact, I'd say F:NV is more true to the Fallout lore than Bethesda's games.

[Is This Minecraft?]

its actually the only cannon game in the fallout franchise, believe it or not

[Stormbreaker420]

It is. But who cares now? The whole series is kinda convoluted and makes little sense most of the time if you take all the lore from each fallout and compare it. Lots of contradictions and silliness.

Honestly its very easy. If its after Fallout 3 and made by Bethesda. Its not canon.
